Directions:

Put chips in bowl, set aside. Bring cream and orange peel to a gentle boil; immediately pour over chips. Let stand one minute; whisk until smooth. Add the orange extract. Cover and chill 35 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken. Beat for 10-15 seconds (mixture should be light in color--do not overbeat). Spoon rounded teaspoon onto waxed paper lined sheets. Cover and chill for five minutes. Gently shape into balls; roll half the balls in pecans. For the coating, melt chocolate chips and shortening. Dip the remaining half of the balls in chocolate. Put on waxed paper. Store in refrigerator.
